How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
The three edge integrals of around the triangle with vertices , , and sum to zero
Example
For the positively oriented boundary of ,
More precisely, the integrals along the directed edges , , and are respectively
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The oriented triangle and the integrand .
The oriented triangle boundary follows the directed edges (Filled complex triangles, their oriented three-edge boundary contours, diameter, and perimeter).
Complex polynomials are entire and obey the power derivative rule (Complex polynomials are entire with the power-rule derivative, and rational functions are holomorphic wherever their denominator is nonzero).
If is holomorphic with continuous derivative on an open set containing a rectifiable contour from to , then (The line integral of a continuous function admitting a primitive is that primitive's endpoint increment along every rectifiable path).
Goursat's theorem gives zero integral for a holomorphic function around every filled triangle contained in its domain (Goursat's triangle theorem: a holomorphic function integrates to zero around every triangle contained in its domain).
A holomorphic function is continuous (Complex differentiability at a point implies continuity there).
Verification
The polynomial is entire with ; this derivative is holomorphic by [L2] and continuous by [L5], so every hypothesis of [L3] holds on each edge.
In the orientation of [L1], the endpoint increments are , , and .
Their sum is zero, proving the displayed integral directly; [L4] gives the same value because is entire.
